Respect is the name of the game: respect one another, respect yourself and
respect school property. Disrespect will not be tolerated.
And in the words of Thomas Edison:
“Genius is one percent inspiration and
ninety-nine percent perspiration.”

Explanation of Work Ethic Indicators
G
You arrive to class on time, prepared with all your supplies, notebooks, texts and other related materials. All your work
(home and in class) is completed to the best of your ability. You are making every effort to meet deadlines and due
dates and are doing your best to keep your notebooks up-to-date and in good order. During class you are attentive
and focussed on the various tasks, assignments and projects. You work well in individual and group situations and you
appear to be doing your best. You willingly participate and share ideas. You treat yourself, your peers and adults with
the respect inherent in the Gospel values. You display good work habits and effort in all that you do.
S
Most of the time you arrive to class on time and are prepared with all your supplies, notebooks, texts and other related
materials. Most of your work (home and in class) is completed to the best of your ability. Although you occasionally miss
handing in an assignment, you are making an honest effort to meet deadlines and due dates. You usually do your best
to keep your notebooks up-to-date and in good order. During class you are attentive and focussed on the various tasks,
assignments and projects with only occasional lapses. You work fairly well in individual and group situations and, on most
occasions, appear to be doing your best. You are willing to participate and share ideas. You treat yourself, your peers
and adults with the respect inherent in the Gospel values. You display satisfactory work habits and effort most of the
time.
N
You frequently arrive unprepared for class. You are sometimes missing supplies, notebooks, texts and other related
materials. On occasion, you are reluctant to put forth the effort to keep your materials and assignments organized.
Homework and assignments are often incomplete or poorly done. During class, you are sometimes unfocussed and
easily distracted. You participate infrequently in class discussions. You sometimes treat yourself, your peers and adults
with a lack of the respect inherent in the Gospel values. Your work habits need to improve.
